• If you want to install them quickly and not worry about it, go for v brakes.

    If you want your bike to look great and are willing to spend a couple of hours setting up the brakes, then some more when you need to adjust them, get cantis.

    I have both on different bikes, but I wouldn't get cantis for a touring bike.

  • Preach!

    Thanks for advice, all.

    Trying to decide if Shimano br-cx50 will do the trick or if I should invest some more into Avid Shorty Ultimate. But would ideally like silver. Also not a fan of the red details on the Avids, as they will go on an orange bike.
